Herman Cain Attacked after Quoting Line from Pokemon Song

When talking about life in general and his campaign, which has gained momentum in the last several months, former-Godfather CEO Herman Cain said during the GOP debate this week, “A poet once said life can be a challenge, life can seem impossible, but it’s never easy when there’s so much on the line.”

Mr. Cain apparently did not know that this line was from a song in a Pokemon movie.  Despite this, I honestly see nothing wrong with using this line.  Sure, it's from a television show aimed at kids, but the message is good (particularly compared to a lot of messages contemporary shows spew) and it works for Mr. Cain.

To see for yourself, watch this video:


However, in the age we live in, anything is a "gotcha question."  NY Mag jumped all over Mr. Cain and quickly went into attack mode.  They called the quote "weird," "strange," and "bizarre."

They then wrote this idiotic "explanation" where they attacked Mr. Cain for no apparent reason, other than they don't like him:
Herman Cain saw the Pokémon movie with one of his grandkids in the summer of 2000 and was greatly moved by the "The Power of One." After a decade had gone by, he recalled the song and wanted to use it in his campaign, but he forgot where he heard it, mistakenly pegged it to the summer Olympics, and was too busy fighting the scourge of Sharia to look it up online. Then sometime in the past two months, he somehow came to believe that the song lyrics he had been quoting throughout the campaign were actually the words of some unnamed poet. It's not the most elegant explanation, but it's the only one we can come up with.
The Huffington Post, after hearing of the quote, wrote dismissively:
Is Herman Cain just extremely high-level performance art? You know, like Borat, or Joaquin Phoenix or something like that?
Looks like the Main Stream Media is at it again: attacking someone not on their character, not on their beliefs, not on their actions... but on a relevant quote that happens to be from a kid's flick.

In a world where our unemployment is still over 9%, the economy is on the rocks, and our men and women in uniform are dying overseas everyday, this is the best thing that the Main Stream Media can whine about?  Their coverage of the story is much, much more disturbing than Mr. Cain quoting a movie.
